I cannot emphasise enough how greatful I am for my assessor Tina Gregory at tempdent, she goes above and beyond for her students and has provided me with immense support during the last 5 months when my assessors got swapped, I wouldn't have been able to achieve a nearly completed portfolio without her! Thank you so much Tina! Now for the last stretch

I loved my time with Tempdent, my Assessor Caroline was so patient with me and couldn't have done it without her.

Report
This review is based upon my experience with my 2nd assessor Sarah Boyd. Unfortunately, my original assessor left Tempdent and at that stage of my course I had several pieces of work outstanding and several pieces of work unassessed and felt extremely stressed. From the first contact with Sarah, my fears were eased. A thorough action plan was put in place, my work was assessed and brought up to date. Sarah responded to my emails and telephone calls straight away and was an amazing support helping me to complete my portfolio on time. Thank you so much.
